Re: [HOT] iD Editor on iPad
Apparently both wireless and bluetooth mice are unsupported without jail breaking. There isn't much difference by the way bluetooth uses the same frequencies.

Re: [HOT] iD Editor on iPad
About stylus, A friend of mine has Adonit Jot Pro which is cost about US$30. I used it for drawing on his iPad and I think it's quite accurate, not sure for iD as I always use my laptop to edit OSM. However, looking I have good experience for drawing, I think you can consider this option. The Verge has a comprehensive list of iPad stylus. http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/10/2925937/best-stylus-ipad-review Other alternative - a bluetooth mouse?

Re: [HOT] iD Editor on iPad
I'm not an ipad user so I'm not sure. However using a stylus on other devices isn't in my opinion as accurate as a 800 dpi mouse. In Canada I can buy cheap wireless mice for under $10 but I'm not sure if they work with an ipad. My understanding is you have to jailbreak the ipad which doesn't do wonders for an apple warranty and isn't something I'd recommend.

Re: [HOT] iD Editor on iPad
John, Thanks. That is my opinion generally as well. I wonder if a stylus is a suitable substitute for a mouse on an iPad?

Re: [HOT] iD Editor on iPad
Typically you need a mouse to get any sort of precision even with a Windows laptop.

[HOT] iD Editor on iPad
I am working with a group that would like to work on humanitarian mapping projects in the Tasking Manager, however they only have access to iPads. I investigated the iOS specific editors here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Apple_iOS However, I don't think any of these are integrated with the Task Manager. I borrowed an iPad and did some testing of the iD editor on it. It seems to work, but it is very difficult to draw precisely with ones finger, and it is particularly difficult to "click"/tap the last node on a way a second time in order to complete it (the location of the click / tap is likely to be different enough from the last node to create a new node instead of finishing the way). Does anyone have any advice (apart from telling them to move to a different platform)? Would a stylus solve the problem on the iPad? Are there reasons other than the precision of the tapping/clicking that make the iD editor unusable on an iPad? Do any of the iOS specific apps have a remote control interface so that they can be used with the Tasking Manager?
